Great Company with Jamie Laing

Moses Itauma is one of the most exciting names in boxing right now. He’s a former European and World Junior Champion who’s widely tipped to become Britain’s next heavyweight superstar.

I’ve always been really interested in the journey someone goes on before they become the next big thing and that’s exactly where Moses is.

At just 21, he’s on the brink of greatness as he prepares to face Jermaine Franklin this Saturday night. It’s a world away from where it all began… when he first stepped into a boxing gym aged nine and hated every second of it. From a small town in Slovakia to one of the most talked about heavyweight prospects in the world, Moses’s journey has been anything but ordinary.

In this episode, Moses shares:
- Leaving Slovakia at the age of 3 and building a new life in Kent
- Why he refuses to trash talk his opponents
- What really happened behind the scenes of his fight with Dillian Whyte
- What professional boxers actually get paid
- The mindset, discipline and habits that are taking him to the top

This isn’t just a conversation about boxing. It’s about resilience, belief and what it really takes to become the very best. Moses Itauma is Great Company.

Aitch is known for his chart-topping tracks and insane freestyle talent but, away from music, he uses his platform to raise awareness for Down’s syndrome, inspired by his younger sister Gracie, who has the condition.

In this Great Moment, Aitch opens up about how important Gracie is to him and the joy and light she brings to everyone around her.

He shares how she’s shaped his outlook on life and taught him the importance of treating everyone equally.

Sometimes, the people who teach us the most… are the ones right beside us.

So many of us grew up watching Fearne Cotton on children’s TV and then later listening to her on Radio 1. She’s a broadcasting icon, bestselling author and someone I’ve looked up to for such a long time.

At just 15, Fearne was thrust into the public eye when she began her TV career on Disney Club. With that came a huge pressure to be liked and she felt like she needed to change parts of her personality to fit in and keep people happy.

In this conversation, she opens up about how, despite her success, she often felt she didn’t deserve the opportunities she was given.

In this episode, Fearne shares:
How she has learned to let go of people pleasing
Her 10 year battle with anxiety which forced her to step away from live radio and TV
How she began working on TV aged just 15
Working with incredible artists like Eminem and Amy Winehouse
Why it’s important to push boundaries and care less about being likeable

This conversation is an important reminder that when you stop worrying so much about what other people think of you, you give space for the real you to shine.

Fearne Cotton is Great Company.
